This is disappointing, but not surprising.
First: Disappointment is EAs business model, somehow they earn money with it. You don't book a session at a domina and complain about the spankings,
Secondly: I've worked in customer service myself, those people are usually just third party employees from an independent company providing the human resources to... well, answer requests. They just get a short briefing over their "work" and have no professional training. Often they work for different clients, so they usually do not even have a direct contact to actual programmers, except for the "supervisor" maybe.
This is why I dont even bother with customer support anymore, If your problem cant get fixed by "have you tried to turn it off and on again?" those people cant help you anyway.
Fun fact:
When I first encountered this bug, I was going directly to answerHQ and contacted David, after he hasnt responded for three days I contacted the german customer support, they send me a list of common sense tips like reinstall origin etc. And if it doesnt help? Hey, just go to answerHQ for further help!
Someday, I would really like to have a phone call with a person in charge at EA and just have a chat with them about the treatment of their customers.
Being "greedy" and charging 90$ for a game is actually fine for me, but I would at least expect overwhelmingly great customer service and communication with their customer base.
Wasn't it EA talking about "games as a live-service"?
I know they have suspended the microtransactions for now, but if they hadn't done and this was happening, they would be stealing your money. As it stands, EA are content with stealing our credits and with them our time.
